1950s Rare Day Date Month Swiss Gents Watch

Hi Collectors,

Another day, another piece from my collection. Unforunately, the Balance Staff is broken and I have not got the time to bring it to a watchmaker to fix it. Whenever you got Broken Balance Staff, be prepared to pay a price for fixing it. Always insist on original part.

Here is the watch.


The Operation of the swiss watch:

Two winders, the one on 3, is use for winding the main spring and for adjusting the time. The winder at 10 is used to adjusting the date and adjusting the month on 12. First, you align the day with the date and month. The red hand will move with the hour and minute hands. The red hand is like a day pointer. Once the hour hand reach the 12 midnight, the red hand will point to a new day. I have now seen many branded watches revitalise the old design in their new range of watches. I am sure this design will be copied once again.

I hope you learn something today.
